The Perfect Pre-Show Warm-Up: What to Do Before the Curtain Goes Up in Branson

Take your family to one of Branson's favorite indoor attractions before you head of to the show!
Let’s talk about the classic Branson vacation itinerary. You wake up, grab some pancakes, maybe ride a coaster or do a little shopping, and then get ready for the main event: the shows.
If you are visiting the Ozarks, you already know the stage productions here are world-class. You probably have your tickets locked in for the massive, sweeping sets at Sight and Sound, the insane energy at The Haygoods, a nostalgic evening at Presley's, or an action-packed night under the stars at the Shepherd of the Hills Outdoor Drama.
But there is always that awkward two-hour gap in the late afternoon or early evening. You are ready to go, but it’s too early for dinner and you definitely don't want to just sit in your hotel lobby waiting around.
Whether you are trying to beat the midday heat or looking for the perfect indoor activity to kick off your night, you need something to bridge the gap. You are about to spend a couple of hours sitting in a theater seat watching other people perform, so why not spend the hour before that actually doing something together?
That is exactly why Escape Code is the ultimate pre-show warm-up.
Instead of just watching a story unfold on stage, you get to step inside one yourself. You and your family are thrown into a highly themed, cinematic environment where you have to communicate, laugh, and rely on each other to solve a mystery. It gets everyone off their phones, wakes up your brain, and gets the adrenaline pumping. By the time you finally crack the final code and head to the theater, your group will be completely energized and swapping stories about who solved the hardest puzzle.
Because our adventures run on set 60 to 90-minute schedules, it is incredibly easy to seamlessly fit a game into your evening plans without worrying about being late for the opening act.
There is a catch, though. Because we only offer completely private, stranger-free games, we don't just cram endless groups of people into our building. Our time slots are strictly limited and they book up extremely quickly—especially the coveted late-afternoon and early-evening spots right before the big shows start.
Don't leave your pre-show entertainment up to chance. Check our live availability and lock in your game time right now at www.escapecode.tv/booking!
